Rapper NBA YoungBoy has reportedly expanded his family with the arrival of his 12th child, a baby girl named Kiori, with his 10th baby mama, Hailey.
Although Kiori was born last year, the news remained private until social media rumors surfaced on September 5, sparking widespread speculation.
Hailey, the child’s mother, responded to the disclosure on X (previously Twitter), denying that she released the information and said that the message was written during a rough phase of postpartum depression.
“Loud & wrong but carry on … I wasn’t alone, I felt alone because of how sick I was during my pregnancy,” Hailey wrote. She further clarified that she had no reason to leak the existence of her daughter and that she has known NBA YoungBoy for years.
NBA YoungBoy, 24, has not publicly responded to the news of his 12th child. The rapper, who is currently facing separate drug and gun charges, welcomed his 11th child last April with Drew Valentina. He shares two children with his wife, Jazlyn Michelle, and has other children with women including Yaya Mayweather and Jania Meshell.
Despite fathering multiple children, NBA YoungBoy admitted in an interview with Bootleg Kev earlier this year that fatherhood has been a challenging topic for him, stating: “I’m not really big on it, to be honest. It’s a crazy topic.”
The news has triggered a lot of comments from netizens.
